false <![CDATA[The Gifted Gabaldon Sisters]]> 3315248 3 Having lost their mother in early childhood, the Gabaldón sisters consider Fermina, their elderly Pueblo housekeeper, their surrogate Grandmother. The mysterious Fermina love the girls as if they are her own, and promises to endow each with a "special gift" to be received upon her death. Mindful of the old woman's mystical ways, the sisters believe Fermina's gifts, bestowed based on their natural talents, magically enhance their lives. The oldest sister, Bette Davis Gabaldón, always teased for telling tales, believes her gift is the power to persuade anyone, no matter how outlandish her story. Loretta Young, who often prefers pets to people, assumes her gift is the ability to heal animals. Tough-talking tomboy, Rita Hayworth believes her gift is the ability to curse her enemies. And finally, Sophia Loren, the baby of the family, is sure her ability to make people laugh is her legacy. As the four girls grow into women they discover that Fermina's gifts come with complicated strings, and what once seemed simple can confuse over time. Together they learn the truth about their mysterious caretaker, her legacy, and the family secret that was nearly lost forever in the New Mexican desert. 3352893 1 10 2008 The Gifted Gabaldón Sisters total:113|5:10|4:31|3:52|2:16|1:4| 113 366 248 37 5 1 false false Tue Oct 28 10:23:07 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 06 08:33:19 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 21:30:11 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 21:30:37 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Dec 03 11:10:51 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 11:17:31 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Nov 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 16:47:41 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 17:01:36 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 01:59:31 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 02:14:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Nov 22 05:51:56 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 05:57:11 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jun 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 19:41:23 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 14:38:37 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Nov 13 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 11:43:03 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 11:43:18 -0800 2008 Grand Central Publishing, 10/2008
